Exciting full-time, onsite Key Account Manager role at DuluxGroup in Auckland, aimed at winning new business with construction companies, developers and commercial painters.

In your application, highlight measurable wins, quantify revenue or growth, demonstrate knowledge of DuluxGroup brands, and show readiness to be out in the field. Emphasize why you fit our hunger, resilience and collaborative culture.
